Bacon Mayonnaise

Don’t be intimidated. Making homemade mayonnaise is actually really easy and is so much more flavorful than the jarred kind (not that I don’t love Hellmann’s). The secret to this recipe is making sure to emulsify with the olive oil first, then whisk in the bacon fat; otherwise, the mayonnaise will break, or separate. There are so many variations you can try—horseradish, chipotle, and maple are my favorites.
